Whisper quiet & ended my perpetual morning stuffy nose
By Tom D.
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2E88VCE2GMWGS I've had this air purifier around four months and it's been in constant use in the bedroom. My video review explains more but in a nutshell, my perpetual morning stuffy nose was eliminated by this machine. I love it! Filters are easy to change (the carbon filter replacement light came on today after four months) and it is whisper quiet. Two thumbs way up for Fellowes Quiet Air Purifier with True HEPA Filter!

Fellowes Quiet Air Purifier
By C. A. Boswell
This is my new favorite gadget in my home. I was actually concerned that this would be too quiet, but it turned out to be the perfect amount of 'white noise' to lull me to sleep. Just to put it into perspective, though, this unit is much larger than my old Honeywell air purifier yet much less noisy. I would say that the Honeywell was more vibrational noise, and annoying enough to make it difficult to hear the TV, whereas the Fellowes is barely noticeable but enough to block out distracting noises that keep me from sleeping (like my neighbors in the apartment next door).

The air quality in my room has been great since the machine has been running. Pollen has been crazy high lately, but I have not had any problems to speak of. As for cleaning/changing the filter, it is too early for me to comment on this since I haven't had it that long.

I will now try very hard to think of something negative (which, there isn't much at all). For some reason, my cat li kes to jump on top of the unit. Sometimes, when he jumps off of the unit, I noticed that the unit tends to 'fall forward' because of the way the weight is distributed. It probably wouldn't hurt the machine, since the air comes out the top in such a way that the air flow wouldn't be blocked. Still, the unit probably could have been engineered in such a way that it was more balanced and less likely to tip over.

In summary, if you are looking for a high-end air purifier to improve your air quality, then look no further.

UPDATE (6/2/12): It has been about 3 months since I started using the product, and the red light has come on to tell me that it is now time to change the charcoal filter -- the one that is supposed to filter larger dust particles. This is consistent with what the manual recommends, and the replacement filter is available through Amazon and seems to be at a reasonable price, so I think that it will be worth the cost and effort. Something tel ls me, though, that the unit doesn't really detect that the filter is dirty. I suspect that there is simply a timer that signals when the unit has been running for three months!

PlasmaTRUE is terribly loud and impossible to disable
By bbz
I bought this purifier for my bedroom to replace a purifier I thought was too loud. But this purifier is incredibly loud but not due to the fan--it's due to the high pitched noises the PlasmaTRUE ionizer makes. Even on the high fan speed I can hear the PlasmaTRUE which means that to me it is essentially louder than the fan on any setting and so "low" mode is unbearably loud to me. It sounds like a quiet dentist drill to get an idea of the frequency. I'm not young enough to be able to hear the super high pitched text tones so I don't know why I'm the first to complain about this. To top it off, PlasmaTRUE is impossible to disable. So this purifier was not able to stay in the bedroom. I'm still debating on whether to return it.

If you want more detail about PlasmaTRUE, I found this info in a pdf online:
